Check.

seated row
Sometimes - I like a cable row, versus those machines. These days, I do a Pendlay barbell row from the floor.

lat pull down
Nah - I do pullups and chins (and weighted chins). Lat pulldowns are inferior exercises, IMHO.

how do you consider it back day without deadlifts? SMH

Pullups, rows, whatever
Posted on 9/4/14 at 11:04 am to GEAUXT
I am bigger and stronger than ever right now. I think youre doing too much. Back exercises are in bold. I usually warmup with 200 pushups, a generous deltoid warmup, and about 60 widegrip pullups. I also do about 100 squats with just a bar for speed. All exercises unless otherwise specified have a strict 1 min break between each set.
M- squats / deadlift / curls - sets of 5 reps until I can only get a 2
Tu- bp / hang cleans / close grip - same
W- Pendlay Rows / db rows / curls - same
Th- incline / OHP / skullcrushers - same
Fri - squats / SLDL / leg ext/leg curls - same except for the ext/curls those I do sets of 15 on a 30s break to failure.
ETA: Forgot to add that after each exercise I have a working/burn grouping; 3 sets of 5-7 reps, 30s rest between sets with 90 lbs less than final set.

Deadlifts.

I was going to say throw some deadlifts in there, but it looks like everyone else has you covered.
Posted on 9/4/14 at 11:10 am to CptBengal
I warm up with 200 pull-ups and 600 push-ups
Posted on 9/4/14 at 11:16 am to GEAUXT
Don't do them on the same day.
Also don't do the same routine for more than a month.

myth. I find my mileage carries better with a slight adjustment every 8 weeks.

Squat
Deadlifts
Barbell Rows
Overhead Press
Bench Press

Wrong
It's not the routine
You should "shock" the muscles at least 1-2 times amonth.
This can be done by simply switching flat bench and incline in order of lifts or changing rep/set counts from like 5x6 to 10x3 and so on
I have been on the same routine, posted above, for 6 months now.
BP Max - 240 --> 315

I think something as simple as working up to a new SRM on every exercise (assuming strength is a significant goal, if not the primary one), at least once every 6 to 8 weeks accomplishes this as well - you have to make sure you do it safely, of course.

I think ya'll are misunderstanding me.
I just mean I don't do the same exercises in the same order for longer than a month. It's more about fighting boredom then "shocking" the muscles.
I could do something as simple as changing the order or number of sets or subbing in bent over rows for lawn mowers.
ETA: Although I do love how in any fitness thread anytime somebody posts something that could be interpreted slightly different from one's particular method it is met with a bombardment of free and unsolicited advice.

got ya.
Yeah, that's exactly what I do.
There are no "secret" lifts
The olympic/power stuff that's been around for 100 years is still the best stuff. You just have to change orders/reps/weights to gain.

It's a message board man, what did you expect. People that lift take it serious, and offering advice in the gym is a big no-no.
Although I often think about it watching some of those clowns lift.....kayeesh!
BTW; I have been keeping up with 1k pullups for September
9/1: 0
9/2: 90
9/3: 60
9/4: 45
